Sports on Youtube.TV (resolution terrible) - Google throttling Roku?

Is anyone else noticing poor resolution on sporting events, primarily football (NCAA/NFL) in the Youtube.TV app? This has been going on for a few weeks now and I plugged in a chromecast to the same TV and have been running Youtube.TV off the chromecast instead of Roku tv and I am getting far better resolution.

    Hi at0micpunks Demon69c,

    Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community regarding the quality of resolution while streaming.

    Have you noticed this issue occurs with other channels/streaming platforms? Also, what specific Roku device are you using to stream on YouTube TV?

    For the meantime, we recommend visiting this support article on how to manage the resolution of your Roku device while streaming: How to change the display type on your Roku® streaming player

    Keep us posted.

    All the best,
    Kash

    And yes, I've removed the Youtube.TV app from my Roku TVs and re-added with no difference.

        No. I do not see resolution issues except for local network channel (ABC, CBS, FOX) broadcasts and specifically with sporting events. The NFL, this season, has been horrible. I have not had these problems before. My primary tv is a 55" TCL Roku tv.

    Been trying to watch the Baseball playoffs and not only had resolution issues but excessive buffering on my Roku TV ( and limited only to you tube  and associated elements ie regular and You tube TV)
